Do you want lots of storage or do you want fast seek times and low power consumption? If the latter, then the 4 GB flash model is the way to go. As for Linux versus Windows, that also depends on how you plan to use the laptop. Is this a replacement for your desktop, or like me, are you planning to use it as a small note-taking device that you can easily carry when you travel? In that case, Linux would definitely be the way to go. I might still buy the version with Windows, just to have the Windows license handy when I go to resell the device in a couple years. More than likely, I'll end up installing my own customized Linux system on top of it anyways. Richard: whether the 120 gb hard drive model is “better” or not depends on your viewpoint.

Can you give me which operating system should I take ? Linus or Window ? for sure the computer with 120Gb hard drive is better, I notice the Linus machine will start up faster and there are so many Window programs out there.

I ordered my on the 17th, and HP says it will get here on the 5th of May. There are people who are waiting even longer as well... Also, I don't think it ships with both batteries but it but it might be different there in Canada.
